At this year's annual Automotive Color Trend Show held at PPG's office, the company presented its ideas for future vehicle colors. "Color is one of the most basic means of human expression," said Jane E. Harrington, PPG manager (color styling & automotive coatings). "The palette of colors being developed for the automotive segment is being influenced by culture, nature, fashion, interior design, media, auto shows, color popularity and new pigment technology.", she added.

PPG presented automotive designers with 70 new exterior shades for consideration in their designs of the 2014-2015 model years. These included colours such as Goldeluxe, a silver with an influence of a gold; White Nougat, a soft creamy white with a highlight sparkle; Muddy Waters, a tone of brown with a pearl luster effect; Grape Spritz, a blue fused with a purple highlight; and Pot O'Gold, a light green with a hint of gold.

I have been a car fanatic since 1989, when my father was changing our family car then to a Toyota Corolla 1.6 GL fitted with a Twin Cam 16 valve engine that was carburetor-fed, a big deal back in those days. The automobile technology and industry fascinates me and I hope to broadcast these interesting developments to everyone out there through this blog.

I meant in general. If I'm rich enough to buy a Ferrari and my preference color is white , I will definitely spray it white. As I mention , is subjective. You may not like white Ferrari, but I do. For your info , not most sports car are red. Porsche comes in white , Lamborghini comes in white, Aston Martin comes in white, Jaguar comes in white, Merserati comes in white etc....
